2. FIELD

The present disclosure provides 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds that exhibit antiproliferative activity, prodrugs of the compounds, intermediates and methods of synthesizing the compounds and/or prodrugs, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and/or prodrugs and methods of using the compounds and/or prodrugs in a variety of contexts, including, for example, in the treatment and/or prevention of proliferative disorders, such as tumors and cancers.

3. BACKGROUND

Cancer is a group of varied diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. Generally, all types of cancers involve some abnormality in the control of cell growth and division. The pathways regulating cell division and/or cellular communication become altered in cancer cells such that the effects of these regulatory mechanisms in controlling and limiting cell growth fails or is bypassed. Through successive rounds of mutation and natural selection, a group of abnormal cells, generally originating from a single mutant cell, accumulates additional mutations that provide selective growth advantage over other cells, and thus evolves into a cell type that predominates in the cell mass. This process of mutation and natural selection is enhanced by genetic instability displayed by many types of cancer cells, an instability which is gained either from somatic mutations or by inheritance from the germ line. The enhanced mutability of cancerous cells increases the probability of their progression towards formation of malignant cells. As the cancer cells further evolve, some become locally invasive and then metastasize to colonize tissues other than the cancer cell's tissue of origin. This property along with the heterogeneity of the tumor cell population makes cancer a particularly difficult disease to treat and eradicate.

Traditional cancer treatments take advantage of the higher proliferative capacity of cancer cells and their increased sensitivity to DNA damage. Ionizing radiation, including γ-rays and x-rays, and cytotoxic agents, such as bleomycin, cis-platin, vinblastine, cyclophosphamide, 5′-fluorouracil, and methotrexate rely upon a generalized damage to DNA and destabilization of chromosomal structure which eventually lead to destruction of cancer cells. These treatments are particularly effective for those types of cancers that have defects in cell cycle checkpoint, which limits the ability of these cells to repair damaged DNA before undergoing cell division. The non-selective nature of these treatments, however, often results in severe and debilitating side effects. The systemic use of these drugs may result in damage to normally healthy organs and tissues, and compromise the long-term health of the patient.

Although more selective chemotherapeutic treatments have been developed based on knowledge of how cancer cells develop, for example, the anti-estrogen compound tamoxifen, the effectiveness of all chemotherapeutic treatments are subject to development of resistance to the drugs. In particular, the increased expression of cell membrane bound transporters, such as MdrI, produces a multidrug resistance phenotype characterized by increased efflux of drugs from the cell. These types of adaptations by cancer cells severely limit the effectiveness of certain classes of chemotherapeutic agents. Consequently, identification of other chemotherapeutic agents is critical for establishing therapies effective for attacking the heterogeneous nature of proliferative disease and for overcoming any resistance that may develop over the course of therapy with other compounds. Moreover, use of combinations of chemotherapeutic agents which may have differing properties and cellular targets, increases the effectiveness of chemotherapy and limits the generation of drug resistance.

4. SUMMARY

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds that exhibit biological activities, such as the ability to inhibit proliferation of numerous types of cancer cells in in vitro assays. The compounds generally comprise a 2,4-pyrimidinediamine according to structural formula (I):

including the salts, hydrates, solvates and N-oxides thereof. In the compounds of structural formula (I), R⁴ represents a saturated or unsaturated, optionally bridged cycloalkyl that includes an amide or ester R⁷ substituent, although in instances in which the cycloalkyl ring includes two or more bridgehead carbon atoms or is unsaturated, this R⁷ substituent is optional. The R⁷ substituent can be positioned at any carbon atom on the cycloalkyl ring, including on a bridgehead or bridging carbon atom. In some embodiments, the R⁷ substituent is positioned on the carbon atom attaching the cycloalkyl ring to the remainder of the molecule. In some embodiments, the substituent is positioned on the carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom attaching the cycloalkyl ring to the remainder of the molecule, or on its next-nearest neighbor.

The nature of the R² group can vary widely. For example, the R² group can be an optionally substituted aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl group. In some embodiments, R² is a phenyl group that includes from one to three of the same or different substituents. The substituents can be selected from virtually any substituent group, including, but not limited to, branched, straight-chain or cyclic alkyls, mono- or polycyclic aryls, branched, straight-chain or cyclic heteroalkyls, mono- or polycyclic heteroaryls, halos, branched, straight-chain or cyclic haloalkyls, hydroxyls, oxos, thioxos, branched, straight-chain or cyclic alkoxys, branched, straight-chain or cyclic haloalkoxys, trifluoromethoxys, mono- or polycyclic aryloxys, mono- or -polycyclic heteroaryloxys, ethers, alcohols, sulfides, thioethers, sulfanyls (thiols), imines, azos, azides, amines (primary, secondary and tertiary), nitriles (any isomer), cyanates (any isomer), thiocyanates (any isomer), nitrosos, nitros, diazos, sulfoxides, sulfonyls, sulfonic acids, sulfamides, sulfonamides, sulfamic esters, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amidines, formadines, amino acids, acetylenes, carbamates, lactones, lactams, glucosides, gluconurides, sulfones, ketals, acetals, thioketals, oximes, oxamic acids, oxamic esters, etc., and combinations of these groups. Substituent groups bearing reactive functionalities may be protected or unprotected, as is well-known in the art. In some embodiments, at least one of the substituents is a water-solubilizing group.

R⁵ is hydrogen, an optionally substituted lower alkyl group or an electronegative group. Typical electronegative groups suitable for substituting the 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds at the R⁵ position include, but are not limited to, cyano (—CN), isonitrile (—NC), nitro (—NO₂), halo, bromo, chloro, fluoro, (C1-C3) haloalkyl, (C1-C3) perhaloalkyl, (C1-C3) fluoroalkyl, (C1-C3) perfluoroalkyl, —CF₃, (C1-C3) haloalkoxy, (C1-C3) perhaloalkoxy, (C1-C3) fluoroalkoxy, (C1-C3) perfluoroalkoxy, —OCF₃, —C(O)R^(a), —C(O)OR^(a), —C(O)CF₃ and —C(O)OCF₃.

As will be appreciated by skilled artisans, the R⁴ ring can contain chiral centers. For example, the carbon atom connecting the R⁴ ring to the remainder of the molecule and the carbon atom including the R⁷ substituent can be chiral centers. If the R⁴ ring includes, for example, non-equivalent bridges, the bridgehead carbon atoms can also be chiral centers. As a consequence of these (and other) chiral centers, the 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds can include various diastereomers in racemic or enriched forms. For example, when the R⁴ ring is an unbridged saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl ring that includes an R⁷ substituent on the carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom attaching the cycloalkyl ring to the remainder of the molecule, the compounds of formula (I) include two racemates, a cis racemate and a trans racemate, that together comprise four diastereomers, represented by structural formulae (IIa)-(IId), below (absolute configuration assignments determined assuming R⁷ is an ester or amide group, and R⁷ resides on carbon two of the cycloalkyl ring, the pyrimidine 4-nitrogen resides on carbon one of the cycloalkyl ring):

In structures (IIa)-(IId), the illustrated ring including the R⁷ substituent could be any lower unbridged, saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl ring. Moreover, while the R⁷ substitutent is illustrated at a specific location, it could be at other locations.

When R⁴ is a saturated or unsaturated bridged cycloalkyl that includes bridges that allow for exo-endo geometries and an R⁷ substituent on a carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom attaching the cycloalkyl ring to the remainder of the molecule, the compounds of formula (I) include two cis racemates, an exo-exo and an endo-endo, and two trans racemates, an exo-endo and an endo-exo. For example, when R⁴ comprises a norbornyl or norbornenyl bonded to the remainder at the molecule at its 2-position, then these racemates are represented by structural formulae (IIIa)-(IIId), below:

Together these four racemates comprise eight diastereomers, represented by structural formuale (IVa)-(IVh), below (absolute configuration assignments determined assuming R⁷ is an ester or amide group):

In structural formulae (IIIa)-(IIId) and (IVa)-(IVh), the bond including the dotted line can be a single bond or a double bond.

Although the racemates of structural formulae (IIIa)-(IIId) and the diastereomers of structural formulae (IVa)-(IVh) are illustrated with a specific bridged cycloalkyl R⁴ ring, it should be appreciated that the R⁴ ring could be virtually any saturated or unsaturated bridged cycloalkyl in which, for example, the carbon atoms corresponding to the illustrated 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-carbon atoms are chiral centers. Moreover, although the illustrated ring includes a specified bridge position and a single bridging carbon atom, the ring could include more bridging atoms, and the bridgehead carbon atoms could be positioned at different locations within the cycloalkyl ring. In addition, the ring could include additional bridgehead and bridging carbon atoms such that it contains mole than one bridge. Also, depending on it's structure, additional chiral centers can be in the saturated or unsaturated bridged cycloalkyl.

For compounds according to structural formulae (IIa)-(IId) in which the R⁴ cycloalkyl ring is cyclopentyl, R⁷ is —C(O)NH₂ and R² is 4-(1-methylpiperazin-4-yl)-3-methylphenyl, it has been discovered that the two cis (1S,2R) and (1R,2S) diastereomers and the trans (1R,2R) diastereomer exhibit antiproliferative activity against a variety of different tumor cell types in vitro assays, where as the trans (1S,2S) diastereomer is relatively inactive against these same tumor cells. Based on this observation, it is expected that the cis racemate, two cis diastereomers and trans diastereomer of other 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds described herein that correspond in absolute stereochemical configuration to the active cis and trans diastereomers according to structural formulae (IIa), (IIb) and (IIc), respectively, will exhibit similar antiproliferative activity.

For compounds according to structural formulae (IVc)-(IVh) in which R⁷ is —C(O)NH₂ and R² is 4-(1-methylpiperazin-4-yl)-3-methylphenyl, both cis racemates exhibit significant antiproliferative activity against tumor cells in in vitro assays. However, the exo-exo racemate is approximately twenty-fold more potent than the endo-endo racemate. Moreover, for the exo-exo racemate, the enantiomer corresponding to structural formula (IVa), i.e., the (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer, is largely responsible for the potency of the racemate, being approximately 1000-fold more potent than its corresponding enantiomer, i.e., the (1S,2S,3R,4R) diastereomer (IVb). This (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer is also approximately 20-50 times more potent than the endo-endo racemate (mixture of (IVc) and (IVd).).

Based on this observation, it is expected that the racemates and diastereomers of other 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds described herein that correspond in absolute stereochemical configuration to the exo-exo and endo-endo cis racemates of structural formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb), and to the (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer of structural formula (IVa), will exhibit similar antiproliferative activity. Moreover, it is expected that any diastereomer corresponding in absolute stereochemical configuration to the diastereomer of structural formula (IVa) will exhibit similar superior potency as compared to the other diastereomers.

When the R⁴ cycloalkyl ring is a norbornyl or norbornenyl, synthesizing the trans racemates and diastereomers may be difficult owing to steric constraints. However, where trans diastereomers of bridged cycloalkyl groups are possible, the diastereomers corresponding to structural formulae (IVf) and (IVg), supra, are expected to exhibit antiproliferative activity.

Thus, in another aspect, the present disclosure provides 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds that are enriched in one or more of the active diastereomers corresponding to those described above. In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are cis racemates. In a specific embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are exo-exo or endo-endo cis racemates corresponding to structural formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb). In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are enriched in one or more cis diastereomers. In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are enriched in one or more diastereomers corresponding to structural formula (IIa), (IIb) and (IIc). In a specific embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compound is a diastereomer according to structural formula (IIa), (IIb) or (IIc) that is substantially free of all other diastereomers. In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are enriched in the diastereomer corresponding to structural formula (IVa). In a specific embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compound is a diastereomer corresponding to structural formula (IVa) that is substantially free of all other diastereomers.

In still another aspect, prodrugs of the compounds and/or stereoisomerically enriched compounds (referred to collectively herein as “compounds”) are provided. Such prodrugs may be active in their prodrug form, or may be inactive until converted under physiological or other conditions of use to an active drug form. In the prodrugs, one or more functional groups of the compounds are included in promoieties that cleave from the molecule under the conditions of use, typically by way of hydrolysis, enzymatic cleavage or some other cleavage mechanism, to yield the functional groups. For example, primary or secondary amino groups may be included in an amide promoiety that cleaves under conditions of use to generate the primary or secondary amino group. Thus, the prodrugs include special types of protecting groups, termed “progroups,” masking one or more functional groups of the compounds that cleave under the conditions of use to yield an active drug compound. Functional groups within the compounds that may be masked with progroups for inclusion in a promoiety include, but are not limited to, amines (primary and secondary), hydroxyls, sulfanyls (thiols), carboxyls, carbonyls, etc. Myriad progroups suitable for masking such functional groups to yield promoieties that are cleavable under the desired conditions of use are known in the art. All of these progroups, alone or in combination, may be included in the prodrugs. Specific examples of promoieties that yield primary or secondary amine groups that can be included in the prodrugs include, but are not limited to amides, carbamates, imines, ureas, phosphenyls, phosphoryls and sulfenyls. Specific examples of promoieties that yield sulfanyl groups that can be included in the prodrugs include, but are not limited to, thioethers, for example S-methyl derivatives (monothio, dithio, oxythio, aminothio acetyls), silyl thioethers, thioesters, thiocarbonates, thiocarbamates, asymmetrical disulfides, etc. Specific examples of promoieties that cleave to yield hydroxyl groups that can be included in the prodrugs include, but are not limited to, sulfonates, esters, carbonates, phosphates (phosphonoxy) and their salts with organic, bases and metals. Specific examples of promoieties that cleave to yield carboxyl groups that can be included in the prodrugs include, but are not limited to, esters (including silyl esters, oxamic acid esters and thioesters), amides and hydrazides.

In another aspect, the present disclosure provides intermediates useful for synthesizing the compounds and/or prodrugs described herein. In an illustrative embodiment, the intermediates are compounds according to structural formula (V):

wherein R⁴ and R⁵ are as defined for structural formula (I) and LG represents a leaving group. Suitable leaving groups include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium salts, —S(O)₂Me, —SMe and halo (e.g., F, Cl, Br, I). In a specific embodiment, the leaving group LG is chloro.

The intermediates of structural formula (V) may be stereoisomerically enriched in one or more diastereomers such that they can be used to synthesize compounds enriched in one or more of the various diastereomers discussed above. In a specific embodiment of the intermediates, R⁴ is not

or a stereoisomerically enriched diastereomer thereof, where R⁷ is —C(O)NH₂. In another specific embodiment, the intermediate is not any compound described in application Ser. No. 11/016,403, filed Dec. 17, 2004 and/or US2004/042971, filed Dec. 17, 2004, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

In still another aspect, compositions comprising one or more of the compounds described herein are provided. The compositions generally comprise the compound(s), and/or prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof, and an appropriate carrier, excipient and/or diluent. The exact nature of the carrier, excipient and/or diluent will depend upon the desired use for the composition, and may range from being suitable or acceptable for in vitro uses, to being suitable or acceptable for veterinary uses, to being suitable or acceptable for use in humans.

The compounds described herein are potent inhibitors of the proliferation abnormal cells, such as tumor cells, in ill vitro assays. Thus, in still another aspect, methods of inhibiting proliferation of abnormal cells, and in particular tumor cells, are provided. The methods generally involve contacting an abnormal cell such as a tumor cell, with an amount of one or more compounds described herein, and/or prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof, effective to inhibit proliferation of the cells. The cells can be contacted with the compound per se, or the compound can be formulated into a composition. The methods may be practiced in in vitro contexts, or in in vivo contexts as a therapeutic approach towards the treatment or prevention of proliferative disorders, such as tumorigenic cancers.

In still another aspect, methods of treating proliferative disorders are provided. The methods may be practiced in animals in veterinary contexts or in humans. The methods generally involve administering to an animal or human subject an amount of one or more compounds described herein, and/or prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof, effective to treat or prevent the proliferative disorder. The compound(s) per se can be administered to the subject, or the compound(s) can be administered in the form of a composition. Proliferative disorders that can be treated according to the methods include, but are not limited to, tumorigenic cancers.

The compounds described herein are also potent inhibitors of Aurora kinases. Aurora kinases are a family of enzymes known to be key regulators of cell division. Elevated levels of Aurora kinases have been found in several types of human cancer cells, such as breast, colon, renal, cervical, neuroblastomer, melanoma, lymphoma, pancreatic, prostate and other types of solid tumors (see, e.g., Bischott et al., 1998, EMBO J. 17:3052-3065; Geopfert & Brinkley, 2000, Curr. Top. Dev. Biol. 49:331-342; Sakakura et al., 2001, Br. J. Cancer 84:824-831), and overexpression of Aurora kinases has been shown to result in cell transformation, a process by which normal cells become cancers. Although not intending to be bound by any particular theory of operation, it is believed that the compounds described herein, as well as the active prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof exert their antiproliferative activity by inhibiting one or more Aurora kinases.

Thus, in yet another aspect, methods of inhibiting an activity of an Aurora kinase are provided. The methods generally involve contacting an Aurora kinase with an amount of one or more compounds described herein, and/or active prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof, effective to inhibit its activity. The methods can be practiced in in vitro contexts with purified or partially purified Aurora kinase enzymes (e.g., with extracts of cells expressing an Aurora kinase), in in vitro contexts with intact cells expressing an Aurora kinase, or in in vivo contexts to inhibit an Aurora kinase-mediated process (for example cellular mitosis) and/or as a therapeutic approach towards the treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders that are mediated, at least in part, by an Aurora kinase activity.

In still another aspect, methods of treating or preventing Aurora kinase-mediated diseases or disorders are provided. The methods generally involve administering to an animal or human subject an amount of one or more compounds described herein, and/or active prodrugs, salts, hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides thereof effective to treat or prevent the Aurora kinase-mediated disease or disorder Aurora kinase-mediated diseases and disorders include any disease, disorder, or other deleterious condition in which a member of the Aurora kinase family of enzymes plays a role. Specific examples of such Aurora kinase-mediated diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to, melanoma, leukemia, and solid tumor cancers, such as, for example, colon, breast, gastric, ovarian, cervical, melanoma, renal, prostate, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic and bladder cancers.

Other aspects include, but are not limited to, intermediates and methods useful for synthesizing the stereoisomerically enriched compounds and prodrugs, as will be described in more detail herein below.

“Cycloalkyl” by itself or as part of another substituent refers to a cyclic version of an “alkyl” group. A cycloalkyl group may include zero bridgehead carbon atoms or two or more bridgehead carbon atoms. Thus, a cycloalkyl may be monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, depending upon the number of bridgehead and bridging carbon atoms. Cycloalkyl groups that include zero bridgehead carbon atoms are referred to herein as “monocyclic cycloalkyls” or “unbridged cycloalkyls.” Cycloalkyls that include at least two bridgehead carbon atoms and at least one bridging carbon atom are referred to herein as “bridged cycloalkyls.” Bridged cycloalkyls that include two bridgehead carbon atoms are referred to herein as “bicyclic bridged cycloalkyls.” Bridged cycloalkyls that include more than two bridgehead carbon atoms are referred to herein as “polycyclic bridged cycloalkyls.” Typical unbridged cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl; cyclobutyls such as cyclobutanyl and cyclobutenyl; cyclopentyls such as cyclopentanyl and cyclopentenyl; cyclohexyls such as cyclohexanyl and cyclohexenyl; and the like. Typical bridged cycloalkyls include, but are not limited to, adamantyl, noradamantyl, bicyclo[1.1.0]butanyl, norboranyl(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl), norbornenyl (bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl), norbornadienyl(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptadienyl), tricyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]octanyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]octanyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]octadienyl, bicyclo[2.2.2]octanyl, bicyclo[2.2.2]octenyl, bicycl0[2.2.2]octadienyl, bicyclo[5.2.0]nonanyl, bicyclo[4.3.2]undecanyl, tricyclo[5.3.1.1]dodecanyl, and the like. Where specific levels of saturation are intended, the nomenclature cycloalkanyl and cycloalkenyl is used. A “lower” unbridged cycloalkyl contains from 3 to 8 carbon atoms. A “lower” bridged cycloalkyl contains from 5 to 16 carbon atoms.

“Parent Aromatic Ring System” refers to an unsaturated cyclic or polycyclic ring system having a conjugated π electron system. Specifically included within the definition of “parent aromatic ring system” are fused ring systems in which one or more of the rings are aromatic and one or more of the rings are saturated or unsaturated, such as, for example, fluorene, indane, indene, phenalene, tetrahydronaphthalene, etc. Typical parent aromatic ring systems include, but are not limited to, aceanthrylene, acenaphthylene, acephenanthrylene, anthracene, azulene, benzene, chrysene, coronene, fluoranthene, fluorene, hexacene, hexaphene, hexylene, indacene, s-indacene, indane, indene naphthalene, octacene, octaphene, octalene, ovalene, penta-2,4-diene, pentacene, pentalene, pentaphene, perylene, phenalene, phenanthrene, picene, pleiadene, pyrene, pyranthrene, rubicene, tetrahydronaphthalene, triphenylene, trinaphthalene, and the like.

“Aryl” by itself or as part of another substituent refers to a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group having the stated number of carbon atoms (i.e., C5-C15 means from 5 to 15 carbon atoms) derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent aromatic ring system. Typical aryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from aceanthrylene, acenaphthylene, acephenanthrylene, anthracene, azulene, benzene, chrysene, coronene, fluoranthene, fluorene, hexacene, hexaphene, hexylene, as-indacene, s-indacene, indane, indene, naphthalene, octacene, octaphene, octalene, ovalene, penta-2,4-diene, pentacene, pentalene, pentaphene, perylene, phenalene, phenanthrene, picene, pleiadene, pyrene, pyranthrene, rubicene, triphenylene, trinaphthalene, and the like, as well as the various hydro isomers thereof. In some embodiments, the aryl group is (C5-C15) aryl, with (C5-C10) being more typical. Specific examples are phenyl and naphthyl.

“Halogen” or “Halo” by themselves or as part of another substituent, unless otherwise stated, refer to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.

“Haloalkyl” by itself or as part of another substituent refers to an alkyl group in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms are replaced with a halogen. Thus, the term “haloalkyl” is meant to include monohaloalkyls, dihaloalkyls, trihaloalkyls, etc. up to perhaloalkyls. For example, the expression “(C1-C2) haloalkyl” includes fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, 1-fluoroethyl, 1,1-difluoroethyl, 1,2-difluoroethyl, 1,1,1-trifluoroethyl, perfluoroethyl, etc.

“Hydroxyalkyl” by itself or as part of another substituent refers to an alkyl group in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms are replaced with a hydroxyl substituent. Thus, the term “hydroxyalkyl” is meant to include monohydroxyalkyls, dihydroxyalkyls, trihydroxyalkyls, etc.

The above-defined groups may include prefixes and/or suffixes that are commonly used in the art to create additional well-recognized substituent groups. As examples, “alkyloxy” or “alkoxy” refers to a group of the formula —OR, “alkylamine” refers to a group of the formula —NHR and “dialkylamine” refers to a group of the formula —NRR, where each R is independently an alkyl. As another example, “haloalkoxy” or “haloalkyloxy” refers to a group of the formula —OR′, where R′ is a haloalkyl.

“Prodrug” refers to a derivative of an active compound (drug) that may require a transformation under the conditions of use, such as within the body, to release the active drug. Prodrugs are frequently, but not necessarily, pharmacologically inactive until converted into the active drug. Prodrugs are typically obtained by masking a functional group in the drug compound believed to be in part required for activity with a progroup (defined below) to form a promoiety which undergoes a transformation, such as cleavage, under the specified conditions of use to release the functional group, and hence the active drug. The cleavage of the promoiety may proceed spontaneously, such as by way of a hydrolysis reaction, or it may be catalyzed or induced by another agent, such as by an enzyme, by light, by acid or base, or by a change of or exposure to a physical or environmental parameter, such as a change of temperature. The agent may be endogenous to the conditions of use, such as an enzyme present in the cells to which the prodrug is administered or the acidic conditions of the stomach, or it may be supplied exogenously.

A wide variety of progroups, as well as the resultant promoieties, suitable for masking functional groups in the active stereoisomerically enriched compounds described herein to yield prodrugs are well-known in the art. For example, a hydroxyl functional group may be masked as a sulfonate, ester or carbonate promoiety, which may be hydrolyzed in vitro to provide the hydroxyl group. An amino functional group may be masked as an amide, carbamate, imine, urea, phosphenyl, phosphoryl or sulfenyl promoiety, which may be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the amino group. A carboxyl group may be masked as an ester (including silyl esters and thioesters), amide or hydrazide promoiety, which may be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the carboxyl group. Other specific examples of suitable progroups and their respective promoieties will be apparent to those of skill in the art.

“Progroup” refers to a type of protecting group that, when used to mask a functional group within an active stereoisomerically enriched drug compound to form a promoiety, converts the drug into a prodrug. Progroups are typically attached to the functional group of the drug via bonds that are cleavable under specified conditions of use. Thus, a progroup is that portion of a promoiety that cleaves to release the functional group under the specified conditions of use. As a specific example, an amide promoiety of the formula —NH—C(O)CH₃ comprises the progroup —C(O)CH₃.

“Proliferative disorder” refers to a disease or disorder characterized by aberrant cell proliferation, for example, where cells divide more than their counterpart normal cells. The aberrant proliferation may be caused by any mechanism of action or combination of mechanisms of action. For example, the cell cycle of one or more cells may be affected such that cell(s) divide more frequently than their counterpart normal cells, or as another example, one or more cells may bypass inhibitory signals, which would normally limit their number of divisions. Proliferative diseases include, but are not limited to, slow or fast growing tumors and cancers.

“Antiproliferative compound” refers to a compound that inhibits the proliferation of a cell as compared to an untreated control cell of a similar type. The inhibition can be brought about by any mechanism or combination of mechanisms, and may operate to inhibit proliferation cytostatically or cytotoxically. As a specific example, inhibition as used herein includes, but is not limited to, arrest of cell division, a reduction in the rate of cell division, proliferation and/or growth, and/or induction of cell death, by any mechanism of action, including, for example apoptosis.

“Aurora kinase” refers to a member of the family of serine/threonine protein kinases that are generally referred to as “Aurora” kinases. The Aurora family of serine/threonine protein kinases are essential for cell proliferation (see, e.g., Bischhoff & Plowman, 1999, Trends Cell Biol. 9:454-459; Giet & Prigent, 1999, J. Cell Science 112:3591-3601; Nigg, 2001, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2:21-32; Adams et al., 2001, Trends Cell Biol. 11:49-54). Presently, there are three known mammalian family members: Aurora-A (“2”), Aurora-B (“1”) and Aurora-C (“3”) (see, e.g., Giet & Prigent, 1999, J. Cell Sci. 112:3591-3601; Bischoff & Plowman, 1999, Trends Cell Biol. 9:454-459, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference). As used herein, “Aurora kinase” includes not only these three known mammalian family members, but also later-discovered mammalian family members and homologous proteins from other species and organisms (for non-limiting examples of homologous members of the Aurora kinase family from other species and organisms see Schumacher et al., 1998, J. Cell Biol. 143:1635-1646; Kimura et al., 1997, J. Biol. Chem. 272:13766-13771), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by references.

“Aurora kinase-mediated process” or “Aurora kinase-mediated disease or disorder” refers to a cellular process, disease or disorder in which an Aurora kinase plays a role. The Aurora kinases are believed to play a key role in protein phosphorylation events that regulate the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. The human Aurora kinases display distinct subcellular locations during mitosis. For example, Aurora-A is upregulated during the M phase of the cell cycle and localizes to the spindle pole during mitosis, suggesting involvement in centrosomal functions. While Aurora-A activity is maximized during prophase, Aurora-B is believed to play an important role during chromatid separation and formation of the cleavage furrow in anaphase and telophase. The role of Aurora-C is less clear, but it has been shown to localize to centrosomes during mitosis from anaphase to cytokinesis. Moreover, inhibition of Aurora kinase activity in mammalian cells leads to abnormal cell growth and polyploidy (Terada et al., 1998, EMBO J. 17:667-676). Thus, Aurora kinases are thought to regulate cell division, chromosome segregation, mitotic spindle formation, and cytokinesis. As used herein, all of these various processes are within the scope of “Aurora kinases-mediated process.”

Moreover, since its discovery in 1997, the mammalian Aurora kinase family has been closely linked to tumorigenesis. The most compelling evidence for this is that over-expression of Aurora-A transforms rodent fibroblasts (Bischoff et al., 1998, EMBO J. 17:3052-3065). Cells with elevated levels of this kinase contain multiple centrosomes and multipolar spindles, and rapidly become aneuploid. The oncogenic activity of Aurora kinases is likely to be linked to the generation of such genetic instability. Indeed, a correlation between amplification of the Aurora-A locus and chromosomal instability in mammary and gastric tumors has been observed (Miyoshi et al., 2001, Int. J. Cancer 92:370-373; Sakakura et al., 2001, Brit. J. Cancer 84:824-831).

The Aurora kinases have been reported to be over-expressed in a wide range of human tumors. Elevated expression of Aurora-A has been detected in over 50% of colorectal (Bischoff et al., 1998, EMBO J. 17:3052-3065; Takahashi et al., 2000, Jpn. J. Cancer Res 91:1007-1014), ovarian (Gritsko et al., 2003, Clinical Cancer Research 9:1420-1426, and gastric tumors (Sakakura, 2001, Brit. J. Cancer 84:824-831), and in 94% of invasive duct adenocarcinomas of the breast (Tanaka, 1999, Cancer Research 59:2041-2044). High levels of Aurora-A have also been reported in renal, cervical, neuroblastoma, melanoma, lymphoma, pancreatic and prostate tumor cell lines (Bischoff et al., 1998, EMBO J. 17:3052-3065; Kimura et al., 1999, J. Biol. Chem. 274:7334-7340; Zhou et al., 1998, Nature Genetics 20:189-193; Li et al., 2003, Clin Cancer Res. 9(3):991-7). Amplification/overexpression of Aurora-A is observed in human bladder cancers and amplification of Aurora-A is associated with aneuploidy and aggressive clinical behavior (Sen et al, 2002; J Natl Cancer Inst. 94(17):1320-9). Moreover, amplification of the Aurora-A locus (20q13) correlates with poor prognosis for patients with node-negative breast cancer (Isola et al., 1995, American Journal of Pathology 147:905-911). Aurora-B is highly expressed in multiple human tumor cell lines, including leukemic cells (Katayama et al., 1998, Gene 244:1-7). Levels of this enzyme increase as a function of Duke's stage in primary colorectal cancers (Katayama et al., 1999, J. Nat'l Cancer Inst. 91:1160-1162). Aurora-C, which is normally only found in germ cells, is also over-expressed in a high percentage of primary colorectal cancers and in a variety of tumor cell lines including cervical adenocarcinoma and breast carcinoma cells (Acura et al., 1999, J. Biol. Chem. 274:7334-7340; Takahashi et al., 2000, Jpn. J. Cancer Res 91:1007-1014).

In contrast, the Aurora kinase family is expressed at a low levels in the majority of normal tissues, the exceptions being tissues with a high proportion of dividing cells such, as the thymus and testis (Bischoff et al., 1998, EMBO J, 17:3052-3065). For a further review of the role(s) Aurora kinases play in proliferative disorders, see Bischhoff & Plowman, 1999, Trends Cell Biol. 9:454-459; Giet & Prigent, 1999, J. Cell Science 112:3591-3601; Nigg, 2001, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2:21-32; Adams et al., 2001, Trends Cell Biol. 11:49-54 and Dutertre et al., 2002, Oncogene 21:6175-6183.

Although over-expression of proteins by cancer cells is not always indicative that inhibition of the protein activity will yield anti-tumor effect, it has been confirmed in functional assays that at least the following types of tumor cells are sensitive to inhibition of Aurora kinase activity: prostate (DU145), cervical (Hela), pancreatic (Mia-Paca2, BX-PC3), histological leukemia (U937), lung adenocarinoma, lung epidermoid, small lung cell carcinoma, breast, renal carcinoma, MolT3 (all) and Molt4 (all).

Based on the established role of Aurora kinases in a variety of cancers, examples of “Aurora kinases-mediated diseases and disorders” include, but are not limited to, melanoma, leukemia, and solid tumor cancers, such as, for example, the various solid tumor cancers listed above.

“Therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound sufficient to treat a specified disorder or disease, or one or more of its symptoms. In reference to tumorigenic proliferative disorders, a therapeutically effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to, among other things, cause the tumor to shrink, or to decrease the growth rate of the tumor.

In many situations, standard treatments for tumorigenic proliferative disorders involve surgical intervention to remove the tumor(s), either alone or in combination with drug (chemo) and/or radiation therapies. As used herein, a “therapeutically effect amount” of a compound is intended to include an amount of compound that either prevents the recurrence of tumors in subjects that have had tumor(s) surgically removed, or slows the rate of recurrence of tumor(s) in such subjects.

Accordingly, as used herein, amounts of compounds that provide therapeutic benefit adjunctive to another type of therapy, such as surgical intervention and/or treatment with other antiproliferative agents, including, for example, 5-fluorouracil, vinorelbine, taxol, vinblastine, cisplatin, topotecan, etc.), are included within the meaning of “therapeutically effective amount.”

“Prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound sufficient to prevent a subject from developing a specified disorder or disease. Typically, subjects in which prophylaxis is practiced are not suffering from the specified disorder or disease, but are recognized as being at an elevated risk for developing this disease or disorder based factors such as, but not limited to, diagnostic markers and family history.

6.2 The Compounds

As discussed in the Summary section, the present disclosure provides 2,4-pyrimidinedianine compounds that have myriad useful biological activities, including antiproliferative activity against a variety of different tumor cell types in in vitro assays.

each R^(c) is, independently of the others, selected from R^(a) or, alternatively, two R^(c) that are bonded to the same nitrogen atom may be taken together with this nitrogen atom to form a 5-8 membered heterocycloalkyl group which may optionally include from 1 to 3 additional heteroatomic groups selected from O, S, N—(CH₂)_(y)—R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)OR^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂OR^(a) and N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)NR^(a)R^(a), where y is an integer ranging from 0 to 6, and which may optionally include one or more of the same or, different R⁸ and/or lower alkyl substituents; and

each R^(d) is, independently of the others, selected from R^(a), R^(c) and a chiral auxiliary group.

As can be seen from structural formula (I), the compounds described herein comprise three “main” features or moieties: (i) an optionally substituted, saturated or unsaturated, bridged or unbridged cycloalkyl ring (substituent R⁴); (ii) an optionally 5-substituted 2,4-pyrimidinediamine ring; and (iii) an optionally substituted aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl moiety (substituent R²). Various specific embodiments of these three main features, which can be combined with one another, are described in more detail, below.

In many embodiments of the compounds, the pyrimidinediamine moiety is substituted at the 5-position with an electronegative substituent (R⁵ substituent). The exact identity of this electronegative substituent is not critical. Thus, the R⁵ substituent can include virtually any substituent group that has electronegative character. Specific examples of suitable electronegative groups include, but are not limited to, cyano (—CN), isonitrile (—NC), nitro (—NO₂), halo (e.g., Br, Cl, F), (C1-C3) haloalkyl, (C1-C3) perhaloalkyl, (C1-C3) fluoroalkyl, (C1-C3) perfluoroalkyl, trifluoromethyl (—CF₃), (C1-C3) haloalkoxy, (C1-C3) perhaloalkoxy, (C1-C3) fluoroalkoxy, (C1-C3) perfluoroalkoxy, trifluoromethoxy (—OCF₃), —C(O)R^(a), —C(O)OR^(a), —C(O)CF₃ and —C(O)OCF₃, where R^(a) is as defined for structural formula (I). In a specific embodiment, R⁵ is selected from cyano, nitro, halo, bromo, chloro, fluoro, trifluoromethyl and trifluoromethoxy. In another specific embodiment, R⁵ is fluoro.

The R² substituent or moiety can comprise virtually any substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl group. Moreover, the nature of any present optional substituents can vary widely. Many 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds having optionally substituted aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl and heteroarylalkyl R² substituent groups that exhibit biological activity have been reported in the literature (see, e.g., U.S. application Ser. No. 10/355,543 filed Jan. 31, 2003 (US 2004/0029902), WO 03/063794, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/631,029 filed Jul. 29, 2003, WO 2004/014382, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/903,263 filed Jul. 30, 2004, international application no. PCT/US2004/24716 filed Jul. 30, 2004, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,235,746, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference). All of these R² substitutents are expected to be useful in the 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds described herein.

In some embodiments, the R² moiety is a substituted aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl or heteroaryl group in which at least one of the substituents is a water-solubilizing group. Such water-solubilizing groups are especially useful when the R² moiety has significant hydrophobic character, such as when R² is an aryl, for example phenyl or naphthyl, or an arylalkyl, for example benzyl.

As used herein, a “water-solubilizing” group is a group that has hydrophilic character sufficient to improve or increase the water-solubility of the compound in which it is included, as compared to an analog compound that does not include the group. The hydrophilic character can be achieved by any means, such as by the inclusion of functional groups that ionize under the conditions of use to form charged moieties (e.g., carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, phosphoric acides, amines, etc.); groups that include permanent charges (e.g., quaternary ammonium groups); and/or heteroatoms or heteroatomic groups (e.g., O, S, N, NH, N—(CH₂)_(y)—R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)OR^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂OR^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)NR^(a)R^(a), etc., where R^(a) and y are as previously defined for structural formula (I)). In some embodiments, the water-solubilizing group is a cycloheteroalkyl that optionally includes from 1 to 5 substituents, which may themselves be water-solubilizing groups. In a specific embodiment, the water-solubilizing group is of the formula

where Y is selected from CH and N, Z is selected from CH₂, O, S, N, NH, N—(CH₂)_(y)—R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)OR^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂OR^(a) and N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)NR^(c)R^(c), where R^(a), R^(c) and y are as previously defined for structural formula (I), with the proviso that Y and Z are not both simultaneously CH and CH₂, respectively. In another specific embodiment, the water-solubilizing group is selected from morpholino, piperidinyl, (C1-C6) N-alkyl piperidinyl, N-methyl piperidinyl, piperazinyl, (C1-C6) N-alkylpiperazinyl, N-methylpiperazinyl, N-ethyl piperidinyl, N-ethyl piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl, N-alkyl pyrrolidinyl, N-methyl pyrrolidinyl, diazepinyl, N-ethyl pyrrolidinyl, N-alkyl azepinyl, N-methyl azepinyl, N-ethyl azepinyl, homopiperazinyl, N-methyl homopiperazinyl, N-ethyl homopiperazinyl, imidazoyl, and the like.

In a specific embodiment of the 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compound described herein, R² is a substituted phenyl of the formula:

where one of R¹¹, R¹² or R¹³ is a water-solubilizing group, and the other two of R¹¹, R¹² and R¹³ are each, independently of one another, selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, (C1-C3) alkyl, methyl, halo, chloro, fluoro, hydroxy, (C1-C3) hydroxyalkyl, —O(CH₂)_(x)—R^(b), —NR^(c)R^(c), —C(O)NR^(c)R^(c), —C(O)NHR^(a) and —C(O)NHCH₃, where R^(a), R^(b), R^(c), and x are as previously defined for structural formula (I). In a specific exemplary embodiment, R¹¹ is hydrogen; R¹² is the water-solubilizing group, preferably selected from one of the specific embodiments of water-solubilizing groups described above; and R¹² is selected from methyl, halo, chloro, fluoro, (C1-C3) alkoxy, —CH₂OR^(e) and —C(O)NHR^(e), where R^(e) is selected from hydrogen, methyl and (C1-C3) alkyl

In another specific exemplary embodiment, R¹¹ is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, —(CH₂)_(n)—OH, —OR^(a), —O(CH₂)_(n)—R^(a), O(CH₂)_(n)—R^(b), —C(O)OR^(a), halo, —CF₃ and —OCF₃; and R¹² and R¹³ are each, independently of one another, selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, —OR^(a), —O(CH₂)_(x)—R^(a), —O—(CH₂)_(x)—R^(b), —NH—C(O)R^(a), halo, —CF₃, —OCF₃,

In still another specific embodiment, R¹¹ is hydrogen; and R¹² and R¹³ are each other than,

In still another specific embodiment, R¹¹ and R¹² are each hydrogen and R¹³ is —OCH₂NHR^(a).

In still other embodiments, R¹¹, R¹² and R¹³ are each, independently of one another, selected from hydrogen, methyl, methoxy, trifluoromethyl and chloro, with the proviso that at least two of R¹¹, R¹² and R¹³ are other than hydrogen.

In still other embodiments, R¹¹ is hydrogen; R¹² is selected from hydrogen,

morpholino, piperidinyl, (C1-C3) N-alkyl piperidinyl, N-methyl piperidinyl, piperazinyl, (C1-C3) N-alkylpiperazinyl and N-methylpiperazinyl N-ethyl piperidinyl, N-ethyl piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl, N-alkyl pyrrolidinyl, N-methyl pyrrolidinyl, diazepinyl, N-ethyl pyrrolidinyl, N-alkyl azepinyl, N-methyl azepinyl, N-ethyl azepinyl, homopiperazinyl, N-methyl homopiperazinyl, N-ethyl homopiperazinyl and imidazoyl; and R¹³ is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl, halo and —CH₃.

In yet another specific embodiment, R¹¹ is hydrogen; R¹² is selected from (C1-C3) N-alkyl piperazinyl and N-methyl piperazinyl; and R¹³ is methyl.

In some other exemplary embodiments, R² is an optionally substituted heteroaryl group. In a specific exemplary embodiment, R² is selected from

where Y¹ is selected from O, S, N, NH, N—(CH₂)_(y)—R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)OR^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂R^(a), N—(CH₂)_(y)—S(O)₂OR^(a) and N—(CH₂)_(y)—C(O)NR^(c)R^(c), where R^(a), R^(c) and y are as previously defined, Y² us selected from O, S and S(O)₂, and the bonds including the dotted line can be single bonds or double bonds.

While not intending to be bound by any theory of operation, it is believed that the antiproliferative activity of the compounds described herein, as well as their ability to inhibit Aurora kinases, derives in large part from the R⁴ moiety, although R² is also believed to be important for selectivity, but to a lesser extent. In many embodiments of the compounds described herein, the R⁴ group is a saturated or unsaturated, bridged or unbridged cycloalkyl that includes an R⁷ substituent at one of the carbon atoms. The R⁷ substituent can be attached to any carbon atom, but in specific embodiments is attached to the carbon atom connecting the R⁴ group to the N4-nitrogen atom, the carbon atom adjacent to this carbon atom, or its next-nearest neighbor. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds of structural formula (I) are selected from structural formulae (I.1), (I.2) and/or (I.3):

where the illustrated ring including the R⁷ substituent represents a saturated or unsaturated, bridged or unbridged cycloalkyl ring, and R², R⁵ and R⁷ are as previously defined for structural formula (I).

When the R⁴ group in the compounds of structural formula (I) comprises an unbridged cycloalkyl, it will typically contain from 3 to 8 carbon atoms. When the unbridged cycloalkyl is unsaturated, the ring may include one, two or more double bonds, which may be positioned at any ring positions, but are most commonly positioned such that they do not include the carbon atom attaching the R⁴ ring to the remainder of the molecule. In many embodiments, saturated rings and unsaturated rings including a single double bond are preferred. Specific examples of R⁴ groups that comprise an unbridged saturated, or singly unsaturated, cycloalkyl ring include, but are not limited to,

where R⁷ is as previously defined for structural formula (I) and the dotted lines represent a single bond or a double bond.

When the R⁴ group comprises a bridged cycloalkyl, it will typically contain from 5 to 16 carbon atoms. When the bridged cycloalkyl is unsaturated, it may include one, two or more double bonds, which may be positioned at any ring positions, but are most commonly positioned so that they do not include the carbon atom attaching the R⁴ ring to the remainder of the molecule, or a bridgehead carbon atom. In many embodiments, of unsaturated bridged cycloalkyls, those including a single double bond are preferred. Specific examples of R⁴ groups that comprise a bridged cycloalkyl ring include, but are not limited to,

where R⁷ is as previously defined for structural formula (I) and the dotted lines represent a single bond or a double bond.

-   -   R⁷ is an ester or amide group. In some embodiments, R⁷ is an         amide of the formula —C(O)NHR^(d) or an ester of the formula         —C(O)OR^(d), where R^(d) is as previously described for         structural formula (I). In some embodiments, R^(d) is hydrogen.         In some embodiments, R^(d) is lower alkyl. In some embodiments,         R^(d) is a chiral auxiliary group.

Examples of suitable chiral auxiliary groups include, but are not limited to;

where R⁹ is selected from hydrogen and lower alkyl (e.g. methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclopropyl, CH₂-cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, —CH₂-cyclobutyl, etc).

In still other embodiments, R⁷ is an amide of the formula —C(O)NR^(c)R^(c) where R^(c) is as previously defined for structural formula (I). In yet other embodiments, R⁷ is an amide of the formula —C(O)NHR^(a), where R^(a) is as previously defined for structural formula (I). In a specific embodiment, R^(a) is hydrogen.

6.3 Stereoisomerically Enriched and Stereoisomerically Pure Compounds

As will be appreciated by skilled artisans, in many embodiments of the compounds according to structural formula (I), the R⁴, group includes chiral centers. For example, embodiments of compounds in which R⁴ is an unbridged cycloalkyl substituted at the carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom attaching the R⁴ group to the remainder of the molecule includes two chiral carbon atoms: the carbon atom attaching the R⁴ group to the remainder of the molecule, and the carbon atom including the R⁷ substituent. Such compounds include two racemates, a cis racemate and a trans racemate, that together comprise four diastereomers, represented by structural formulae (IIa)-(IId), below (absolute configuration assignments determined assuming R⁷ is an ester or amide group, and R⁷ resides on carbon two of the cycloalkyl ring, the pyrimidine 4-nitrogen resides on carbon one of the cycloalkyl ring):

In structures (IIa)-(IId), the illustrated ring including the R⁷ substituent could be any lower unbridged, saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl ring, such as one of the exemplary rings illustrated previously. Moreover, while the R⁷ substituent is illustrated at a specific location, it could be other locations.

For a specific compound, N4-(2-aminocarbonylcyclopent-1-yl)-5-fluoro-N2-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-methylphenyl]-2,4-pyrimidinediamine, it has been discovered that the trans (1R,2R) diastereomer and the two cis diastereomers, cis (1S,2R) and cis (1R,2S) inhibit the proliferation of a variety of tumor cell lines in in vitro assays, whereas the trans (1S,2S) diastereomer is relatively inactive in this same assay (see, e.g. Section 7.16, infra). Based on the activity of this compound, it is expected that the various diasteromers of all of the compounds according to structural formula (I) that correspond in absolute configuration to the cis racemate, and the cis and trans diastereomers of structural formulae (IIa)-(IIc) will exhibit similar differences in antiproliferative active activity.

Compounds in which R⁴ is a substituted bridged cycloalkyl can include two cis racemates, exo-exo and endo-endo, represented by structural formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb), below, and two trans racemates, exo-endo and endo-exo, illustrated by structural formulae (IIIc) and (IIId), below:

Together, these four racemates comprise eight diastereomers, illustrated as structures (IVa)-(IVh), below:

In structural formulae (IIIa)-(IIId) and (IVa)-(IVh), the bond including the dotted line can be either a single bond or a double bond. It should be noted that while the racemates and diastereomers of structures (IIIa)-(IIId) and (IVa)-(IIh) are illustrated with reference to a specific bridged R⁴ ring, these structural diagrams are for illustrative purposes only to exemplify the absolute stereochemistry of the chiral centers with respect to one another, and are not intended to be limiting with respect to the identity of the bridged R⁴ ring, the location of the bridge, the number of carbon atoms comprising bridge and/or the location of the R⁷ substituent. Thus, these structures are intended to be illustrative of any bridged R⁴ ring which includes racemates and diastereomers corresponding in stereospecific configuration to the structures of structural formulae (IIIa)-(IIId) and (IVa)-(IVh). In this application, the terms “exo” and “endo” are used as a matter of convenience to name compounds where R⁴ comprises a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or heptene. The exo and endo nomenclature was initially developed to describe preferential attack by reagents on a double bond of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene ring systems, which happen to have chemically distinct bridges (a —CH₂— bridge and a —CH═CH— bridge). For example, there are eight diastereomers represented by formulae (IVa)-(IVh), in part, because of the chirality imparted to the R⁴ ring system by virtue of these chemically distinct bridges. When R⁴ is a bi- or tricyclic system where the bridges are chemically distinct, then analogous racemates and diastereomers exist. Specific examples of R⁴ rings that have such corresponding racemates and diastereomers include, but are not limited to bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptene, bicyclo[2.2.2]octene, bicyclo[3.2.1]octane, bicyclo[3.2.1]octene, and the like.

For a specific molecule, N4-(3-aminocarbonylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)-5-fluoro-N2-[3-methyl-4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]-2,4-pyrimidinediamine, it has been discovered that the two cis racemates exhibit antiproliferative activity against a variety of tumor cell types in in vitro assays. However, the cis exo-exo racemate is approximately twenty-fold more potent than the cis endo-endo racemate in all cell lines tested. Moreover, it has been discovered that the enantiomer corresponding to the (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer of structural formula (IVa) is largely responsible for the potency of the exo-exo cis racemate. When tested as isolated stereoisomers, the (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer of this compound exhibited IC₅₀s in the nanomolar range, whereas the (1S,2S,3R,4R) diastereomer of this compound generally exhibited IC₅₀s in the micromolar range against the same cell lines. Thus, in general, the (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer of this compound is approximately 1000-fold more potent than the (1S,2S,3R,4R) diastereomer. The (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer exhibited similarly superior results compared to the (1S,2S,3R,4R) diastereomers in cell-based inhibition assays against Aurora kinase B.

Based on the observed potency of this (1R,2R,3S,4S) diastereomer, it is expected that the full range of diastereomers corresponding to the diastereomer of structural formula (IVa) will exhibit similarly superior potencies as compared to their enantiomers, the exo-exo and endo-endo cis racemates, and their other diastereomers.

Thus, additional specific embodiments of the compounds include compounds that are enriched in one or more of the active diastereomers, or in one or more of the diastereomers that exhibit superior potencies in in vitro and/or in vivo antiproliferation assays, and/or that are substantially free of inactive diastereomers.

In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (I) in which R⁴ comprises an unbridged saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl that is enriched one or more of the diastereomers corresponding to structural formulae (IIa), (IIb) and/or (IIc). In a specific embodiment, the compound is substantially free of the diastereomer corresponding to structural formula (IId). In another specific embodiment, the compound is a mixture, including a racemic mixture, of the diastereomers corresponding to structural formulae (IIa) and (IIb). In still another specific embodiment, the compound is a substantially pure diastereomer corresponding to structure (IIa), (IIb) or (IIc).

In some embodiments, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (I) in which R⁴ comprises a bridged saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl, or a saturated or unsaturated bicycloalkyl, that are enriched in a diastereomer corresponding to structural formula (IVa), (IVb), (IVc) and/or (IVd). In a specific embodiment, the compound is a racemic mixture of cis isomers corresponding to structural formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb). In another specific embodiment, the compound is substantially pure in the diastereomer corresponding to structural formula (IVa).

In one illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VI):

including the salts, hydrates, solvates and N-oxides thereof that are enriched in one or more diastereomers according to structural formula (VIa), (VIb) and/or (VIc):

wherein s is an integer ranging from 0 to 5; R², R⁵ and R⁷ are as previously defined for structural formula (I); and the dotted line represents one or more optional double bonds, the positions of which can vary, with the proviso that when S is 0, the ring does not include a double bond. In a specific embodiment, S is 1, 2, 3 or 4 and the bond including the dotted line is a single bond.

In another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VII):

including the salts, hydrates, solvates and N-oxides thereof, that is enriched in one or more diastereomers according to structural formula (VIIa), (VIIb) or (VIIc);

wherein t is an integer ranging from 1 to 3 and R², R⁵ and R⁷ are as previously defined for structural formula (VI). In a specific embodiment, t is 1 or 2.

In still another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VI) that are substantially free of the diastereomer of structural formula (VId):

In still another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VII) that are substantially free of the diastereomer of structural formula (VIId):

In still another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formulae (VIa) or (VIIa) that are substantially free of all other enantiomers and/or diastereomers.

In yet another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VIII):

including the salts, hydrates, solvates and N-oxides thereof, that are enriched in the diastereomer of structural formula (VIIIa):

wherein R², R⁵ and R⁷ are as previously defined for structural formula (I), and the dotted line represents a single bond or double bond.

In still another illustrative embodiment, the stereoisomerically enriched compounds are compounds according to structural formula (VIIIa) that are substantially free of any other enantiomers and diastereomers.

In some specific embodiments of the stereoisomerically enriched compounds described herein, R⁷ is one of the previously defined specific embodiments and R² is a phenyl of the formula

where R¹¹ and R¹² and R¹³ are as previously defined in connection with any of the previously-discussed specific embodiments.

As used herein, a compound is “enriched” in a particular diastereomer when that diastereomer is present in excess over any other diastereomer present in the compound. The actual percentage of the particular diastereomer comprising the enriched compound will depend upon the number of other diastereomers present. As a specific example, a racemic mixture is “enriched” in a specified enantiomer when that enantiomer constitutes greater than 50% of the mixture. Regardless of the number of diastereomers present, a compound that is enriched in a particular diastereomer will typically comprise at least about 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or even more, of the specified diastereomer. The amount of enrichment of a particulars diastereomer can be confirmed using conventional analytical methods routinely used by those of skill in the art, as will be discussed in more detail, below.

Some embodiments of stereoisomerically enriched compounds are substantially free of specified enantiomers and/or diastereomers. By “substantially free of” is meant that the compound comprises less than about 10% of the undesired diastereomers and/or enantiomers as established using conventional analytical methods routinely used by those of skill in the art (discussed in more detail below). In some embodiments, the amount of undesired stereoisomers may be less than 10%, for example, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% or even less. Stereoisomerically enriched compounds that contain about 95% or more of a desired stereoisomer are referred to herein as “substantially pure” stereoisomers. Stereoisomerically enriched compounds that contain about 99% or more of a desired stereoisomer are referred to herein as “pure” stereoisomers. The purity of any stereoisomerically enriched compound (diastereoisomeric purity; % de) can be confirmed using conventional analytical methods, as will be described in more detail, below.

Various specific exemplary embodiments of the compounds described herein are provided in TABLE 1, in the Examples section. In this table, compounds that were either synthesized or isolated as specific diastereomers are illustrated showing the absolute stereochemistry about the chiral centers of the R⁴ ring. Compounds having chiral centers in the R⁴ ring that are not illustrated with a specified stereochemical configuration were synthesized as racemates.

Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the compounds described herein may include functional groups that can be masked with progroups to create prodrugs. Such prodrugs are usually, but need not be, pharmacologically inactive until converted into their active drug form. For example, ester groups commonly undergo acid-catalyzed hydrolysis to yield the parent carboxylic acid when exposed to the acidic conditions of the stomach, or base-catalyzed hydrolysis when exposed to the basic conditions of the intestine or blood. Thus, when administered to a subject orally, compounds that include ester moieties may be considered prodrugs of their corresponding carboxylic acid, regardless of whether the ester form is pharmacologically active.

Included within the scope of the invention are prodrugs of the various compounds described herein. In such prodrugs, any available functional moiety may be masked with a progroup to yield a prodrug. Functional groups within the compounds described herein that may be masked with progroups for inclusion in a promoiety include, but awe not limited to, amines (primary and secondary), hydroxyls, sulfanyls (thiols), carboxyls, etc. Myriad progroups suitable for masking such functional groups to yield promoieties that are cleavable under the desired conditions of use are known in the art. All of these progroups, alone or in combinations, may be included in the prodrugs described herein.

In one illustrative embodiment, the prodrugs are compounds according to structural formulae (I), supra, in which R^(a), R^(b) and R^(c) may be, in addition to their previously-defined alternatives, a progroup.

Those of skill in the art will appreciate that many of the compounds and prodrugs described herein, as well as the various compound species specifically described and/or illustrated herein, may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism and conformational isomerism. For example, the compounds and prodrugs may exist in several tautomeric forms, including the enol form, the keto form and mixtures thereof. The compounds may also include chiral centers in addition to those specifically discussed herein, and may therefore exist as optical isomers. As the various compound names, formulae and compound drawings within the specification and claims can represent only one of the possible tautomeric or conformational forms, it should be understood that the invention encompasses any tautomers, conformational or optical isomers, of the compounds or prodrugs having one or more of the utilities described herein, as well as mixtures of these various different isomeric forms. In cases of limited rotation around the 2,4-pyrimidinediamine core structure, atrop isomers are also possible and are also specifically included in the compounds and/or prodrugs of the invention.

Depending upon the nature of the various substituents, the compounds and prodrugs may be in the form of salts. Such salts include salts suitable for pharmaceutical uses (“pharmaceutically-acceptable salts”), salts suitable for veterinary uses, etc. Such salts may be derived from acids or bases, as is well-known in the art.

In some embodiments, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Generally, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those salts that retain substantially one or more of the desired pharmacological activities of the parent compound and which are suitable for administration to humans. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids or organic acids. Inorganic acids suitable for forming pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include, by way of example and not limitation, hydrohalide acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic, etc.), sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Organic acids suitable for forming pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include, by way of example and not limitation, adipic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, palmitic acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, alkylsulfonic acids (e.g., methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethane-disulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, etc.), arylsulfonic acids (e.g., benzenesulfonic acid, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, etc.), 4-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]-oct-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, and the like.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts also include salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound is either replaced by a metal ion (e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth metal ion or an aluminum ion) or coordinates with an inorganic or organic base (e.g., ammonia, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, morpholine, piperidine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, etc).

The compounds and prodrugs, as well as the salts thereof, may also be in the form of hydrates, solvates and/or N-oxides, as are well-known in the art.

For embodiments of compounds that are enriched in particular diastereomers, the stereoisomeric enrichment and/or purity may be established by conventional analytical methods well known to those of skill in the art. For example, use of chiral NMR shift reagents, gas chromatographic analysis using chiral columns, high pressure liquid chromatographic analysis using chiral columns, formation of diastereomeric derivatives through reaction with chiral reagents and conventional analysis may be used to establish the stereoisomeric enrichment and/or purity of a specific stereoisomer. Alternatively, synthesis using starting materials of known stereoisomeric enrichment and/or purity may be used to establish the stereoisomeric enrichment and/or purity of the compounds described herein. Other analytical methods for demonstrating stereoisomeric homogeneity are well within the ambit of the skilled artisan.

6.4 Methods of Synthesis

The compounds and prodrugs described herein may be synthesized via a variety of different synthetic routes using commercially available starting materials and/or starting materials prepared by conventional synthetic methods. A variety of exemplary synthetic routes that can be used to synthesize the compounds and prodrugs are described in WO 03/063794 and US 2004-0029902, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

For purposes of illustration, an exemplary synthetic scheme that can be used to synthesize the full range of compounds described herein is illustrated in Scheme (I), below:

In Scheme (I), R², R⁴ and R⁵ are as previously defined for structural formula (I), supra, X is a halogen (e.g., F, Cl, Br or I), and each G is, independently of the other, selected from O and S.

Referring to Scheme (I), uracil or thiouracil 2 is dihalogenated at the 2- and 4-positions using the standard halogenating agent POX₃ (or other standard halogenating agents) under standard conditions to yield 2,4-bis-halo pyrimidine 4. The halide at the C4 position is more reactive towards nucleophiles than the halide at the C2 position in pyrimidine 4. This differential reactivity can be exploited to synthesize the compounds and prodrugs described herein by first reacting 2,4-bis-halopyrimidine 4 with one equivalent of amine 6, yielding 8, followed by reaction with amine 10 to yield compounds according to structural formula (I) (12).

In most situations, the C4 halide is more reactive towards nucleophiles, as illustrated in the Scheme. However, as will be recognized by skilled artisans, the identity of the R⁵ substituent may alter this reactivity. For example, when R⁵ is trifluoromethyl, a 50:50 mixture of 4N-substituted-4-pyrimidineamine 8 and the corresponding 2N-substituted-2-pyrimidineamine is obtained. Regardless of the identity of the R⁵ substituent, the regioselectivity of the reaction can be controlled by adjusting the solvent and other synthetic conditions (such as temperature), as is well-known in the art.

The reactions depicted in Scheme (I) may proceed more quickly when the reaction mixtures are heated via microwave. When heating in this fashion, the following conditions may be used: heat to 175° C. in ethanol for 5-20 min, in a Smith Reactor (Personal Chemistry, Biotage AB, Sweden) in a sealed tube (at 20 bar pressure).

The uracil or thiouracil 2 starting materials may be purchased from commercial sources or prepared using standard techniques of organic chemistry. Commercially available uracils and thiouracils that can be used as starting materials in Scheme (I) include, by way of example and not limitation, uracil (Aldrich #13,078-8; CAS Registry 66-22-8); 2-thio-uracil (Aldrich #11,558-4; CAS Registry 141-90-2); 2,4-dithiouracil (Aldrich #15,846-1; CAS Registry 2001-93-6); 5-bromouracil (Aldrich #85,247-3; CAS Registry 51-20-7; 5-fluorouracil (Aldrich #85,847-1; CAS Registry 51-21-8); 5-iodouracil (Aldrich #85,785-8; CAS Registry 696-07-1); 5-nitrouracil (Aldrich #85,276-7; CAS Registry 611-08-5); 5-(trifluoromethyl)-uracil (Aldrich #22,327-1; CAS Registry 54-20-6). Additional 5-substituted uracils and/or thiouracils are available from General Intermediates of Canada, Inc., Edmonton, Calif. (http://www.generalintermediates.com) and/or Interchim, Cedex, France (http://www.interchim.com), or may be prepared using standard techniques. Myriad textbook references teaching suitable synthetic methods are provided infra.

Amines 6 and 10 may be purchased from commercial sources or, alternatively, may be synthesized utilizing standard techniques. For example, amines may be synthesized from nitro precursors using standard chemistry. Specific exemplary reactions are provided in the Examples section. See also Vogel, 1989, Practical Organic Chemistry, Addison Wesley Longman, Ltd. and John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Skilled artisans will recognize that in some instances amines 6 and/or 10 may include functional groups that require protection during synthesis. The exact identity of any protecting group(s) used will depend upon the identity of the functional group being protected, and will be apparent to these of skill in the art. Guidance for selecting appropriate protecting groups, as well as synthetic strategies for their attachment and removal, may be found, for example, in Greene & Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3d Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York (1999) and the references cited therein (hereinafter “Greene & Wuts”).

Prodrugs as described herein may be prepared by routine modification of the above-described methods.

Compounds that are enriched, substantially pure and/or pure in specified diastereomers may be isolated by chiral separation or by other standard techniques. Methods for chirally resolving specific diastereomers are described in more detail in the Examples section.

Alternatively, stereoisomerically enriched, substantially stereoisomerically pure and/or stereoisomerically pure compounds may be synthesized from amine 6 starting materials having the desired stereochemistry, or that include chiral auxiliaries to aid chiral separation. For example, specified racemic mixtures can be synthesized using the appropriate racemic amine 6. As another specific example, stereoisomerically pule compounds can be synthesized from the appropriate stereoisomerically pure amine 6.

In one exemplary embodiment, illustrated in Scheme (II), below, the desired diastereomer is resolved chemically using (R)-methyl-p-methoxybenzylamine as a chiral auxiliary.

In Scheme (II), 2-exo-3-exo racemic β-lactam 14 (prepared as described in Stajar et al., 1984, Tetrahedron 40(12); 2385) is protected with a Boc group, yielding the corresponding racemic Boc-protected β-lactam 16. In β-lactams 14 and 16, the ring represents any saturated or unsaturated, bridged or unbridged cycloalkyl. Boc-protected racemate 16 is then reacted with (R)-methyl-para-methoxybenzylamine 18, yielding a mixture of diastereomers 20a and 20b. This diastereomeric mixture is treated with an acid such as TFA to cleave the Boc group, yielding a mixture of diastereomers 22a and 22b, which can be reacted with 2,4-dihalopyrmidine 4 to afford a racemic mixture of compounds 24a and 24b. At this stage, compounds 24a and 24b can be resolved from one another by crystallization, each isolated diastereomer reacted with amine 10, and the chiral auxiliary cleaved to afford isolated diastereomers 25a and 25b. The chiral auxiliaries from isolated diasteromers 25a and 25b can then be cleaved, and the compounds further derivatized, if desired. Alternatively, the chiral auxiliaries need not be cleaved, as 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds including the chiral auxiliaries have antiproliferative activity.

For compounds in which R⁵ is fluoro and R² is

where R¹¹ is hydrogen, R¹² is 4-methyl-piperazin-2-yl, and R¹³ is methyl, cleavage of the chiral auxiliary proved difficult. For these and other compounds where such cleavage proves difficult, the chiral auxiliary can be cleaved from compounds 24a and 24b, and the resultant isolated compounds reacted with amine 10.

Compounds that are stereoisomerically enriched, substantially stereoisomerically pure and/or stereoisomerically pure in specified diastereomers can also be synthesized from stereoisomerically enriched, substantially stereoisomerically pure, and/or stereoisomerically pure β-lactams. Such stereoisomerically enriched and/or (substantially) stereoisomerically pure β-lactams can be enzymatically resolved and isolated. In one exemplary embodiment, (substantially) stereoisomerically pure β-lactams can be resolved and isolated from a racemic mixture of 2-exo-3-exo β-lactam 14 using an immobilized lipolase (available from Sigma Chemical Co., catalog no. L4777) as described in Eniko et al., 2004, Tetrahedron Asymmetry 15:573-575. In another exemplary embodiment, (substantially) stereoisomerically pure β-lactams can be resolved and isolated from 2-exo-3-exo Boc-protected racemic β-lactam 16 using resin bound, immobilized chirazyme L-2-type B, c.f. enzyme (Candida Antarctica Type B, c-f, available from Biocatalytics, Inc., Pasadena, Calif.) as described in copending application Ser. No. 60/628,401, filed Nov. 5, 2004. A specific example of the use of this enzyme to resolve specified diastereomers of β-lactams is described in the Examples section, as is a method of synthesizing 2-exo-3-exo racemic β-lactam 16.

Examples of synthesizing specified diasteromers utilizing enzyme reactions are illustrated in Schemes (III) and (IV), below. In Schemes (III) and (IV), stereoisomerically enriched, substantially stereoisomerically pure and/or stereoismerically pure compounds in which R⁷ is an N-substituted amide can be prepared from the corresponding carboxamide using standard techniques. The carboxamide can be converted to the corresponding acids and/or esters via acidic hydrolysis or treatment with basic alkoxide, respectively. A specific example of the use of Novozyme 435 enzyme as illustrated in Scheme (IV), which like the Chirazyme enzyme discussed supra and illustrated in Scheme (III), can be used to resolve enantiomers from racemic β-lactams, is described in the Examples section.

6.5 Activity of the Antiproliferative Compounds

Active compounds typically inhibit proliferation of desired cells, such as tumor cells, with an IC₅₀ in the range of about 20 μM or less, as measured in a standard in vitro cellular proliferation assay. Of course, skilled artisans will appreciate that compounds which exhibit lower IC₅₀'s, for example on the order of 10 μM, 1 μM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, or even lower, may be particularly useful in therapeutic applications. The antiproliferative activity may be cytostatic or it may be cytotoxic. In instances where antiproliferative activity specific to a particular cell type is desired, the compound may be assayed for activity with the desired cell type and counter-screened for a lack of activity against other cell types. The desired degree of “inactivity” in such counter screens, or the desired ratio of activity vs. inactivity may vary for different situations, and may be selected by the user.

Active compounds also typically inhibit an activity of an Aurora kinase with an IC₅₀ in the range of about 20 μM or less, typically in the range of about 10 μM, 1 μM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, or even lower. The IC₅₀ against an Aurora kinase can be determined in a standard in vitro assay with an isolated aurora kinase, or in a functional cellular assay. A suitable enzyme-coupled assay that can be used to determine the degree of Aurora kinase activity is described in Fox et al., 1998, Protein Sci. 7:2249-2255. Kemptide peptide sequence LRRASLG (Bochern Ltd., UK) can be used as a substrate for Aurora kinase-A Aurora kinase-B and/or Aurora kinase-C, and reactions can be carried out at 30° C. in a solution containing 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM Mg Cl₂, 25 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT. IC₅₀ values can be determined using computerized non-linear regression with commercially-available software (e.g., Prism 3.0, GraphPed Software, San Diego, Calif.). A suitable cell-based functional assay is described in the Examples section.

6.6 Uses of the Antiproliferative Compounds

The active compounds, including the various prodrugs, salts, hydrates and/or N-oxide forms thereof, may be used to inhibit Aurora kinases, Aurora kinase-mediated processes, and/or cell proliferation in a variety of contexts.

The active compounds and prodrugs may also be administered in mixture or in combination with agents useful to treat other disorders or maladies, such as steroids, membrane stabilizers. The active compounds or prodrugs may be administered per se, or as pharmaceutical compositions comprising an active compound or prodrug.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the active compounds (or prodrugs thereof) may be manufactured by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilization processes. The compositions may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents, excipients or auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically (see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15^(th) Ed., Hoover, J. E. ed., Mack Publishing Co. (2003)

The active compound or prodrug may be formulated in the pharmaceutical compositions per se, or in the form of a hydrate, solvate, N-oxide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, as previously described. Typically, such salts are more soluble in aqueous solutions than the corresponding free acids and bases, but salts having lower solubility than the corresponding free acids and bases may also be formed.

Pharmaceutical compositions may take a form suitable for virtually any mode of administration, including, for example, topical, ocular, oral, buccal, systemic, nasal, injection, transdermal, rectal, vaginal, etc., or a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation.

For topical administration, the active compound(s) or prodrug(s) may be formulated as solutions, gels, ointments, creams, suspensions, etc., as are well-known in the art.

Systemic formulations include those designed for administration by injection, e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection, as well as those designed for transdermal, transmucosal oral or pulmonary administration.

Useful injectable preparations include sterile suspensions, solutions or emulsions of the active compound(s) in aqueous or oily vehicles. The compositions may also contain formulating agents, such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agent. The formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multidose containers, and may contain added preservatives.

Alternatively, the injectable formulation may be provided in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, including but not limited to sterile pyrogen free water, buffer, dextrose solution, etc., before use. To this end, the active compound(s) may be dried by any art-known technique, such as lyophilization, and reconstituted prior to use.

For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are known in the art.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of, for example, lozenges, tablets or capsules prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate, lecithin). The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art with, for example, sugars, films or enteric coatings.

Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, elixirs, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol, Cremophore™ or fractionated vegetable oils); and preservatives (e.g., methyl or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid). The preparations may also contain buffer salts, preservatives, flavoring, coloring and sweetening agents as appropriate.

Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active compound or prodrug, as is well known in the art.

For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.

For rectal and vaginal routes of administration, the active compound(s) may be formulated as solutions (for retention enemas) suppositories or ointments containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.

For nasal administration or administration by inhalation or insufflation, the active compound(s) or prodrug(s) can be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressurized packs or a nebulizer with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, fluorocarbons, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges for use in an inhaler or insufflator (for example capsules and cartridges comprised of gelatin) may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.

For ocular administration, the active compound(s) or prodrug(s) may be formulated as a solution, emulsion, suspension, etc. suitable for administration to the eye. A variety of vehicles suitable for administering compounds to the eye are known in the art. Specific non-limiting examples are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,261,547; U.S. Pat. No. 6,197,934; U.S. Pat. No. 6,056,950; U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,807; U.S. Pat. No. 5,776,445; U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,219; U.S. Pat. No. 5,521,222; U.S. Pat. No. 5,403,841; U.S. Pat. No. 5,077,033; U.S. Pat. No. 4,882,150; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,738,851.

For prolonged delivery, the active compound(s) or prodrug(s) can be formulated as a depot preparation for administration by implantation or intramuscular injection. The active ingredient may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (e.g., as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, e.g., as a sparingly soluble salt. Alternatively, transdermal delivery systems manufactured as an adhesive disc or patch which slowly releases the active compound(s) for percutaneous absorption may be used. To this end, permeation enhancers may be used to facilitate transdermal penetration of the active compound(s). Suitable transdermal patches are described in for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,713; U.S. Pat. No. 5,352,456; U.S. Pat. No. 5,332,213; U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,168; U.S. Pat. No. 5,290,561; U.S. Pat. No. 5,254,346; U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,189; U.S. Pat. No. 5,163,899; U.S. Pat. No. 5,088,977; U.S. Pat. No. 5,087,240; U.S. Pat. No. 5,008,110; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,921,475.

Alternatively, other, pharmaceutical delivery systems may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well-known examples of delivery vehicles that may be used to deliver active compound(s) or prodrug(s). Certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or other vehicles such as CREMOPHOR (a class of non-ionic solubilizers and emulsifiers manufactured by BASF Corporation, Florham Park, N.J.), may also be employed, although usually at the cost of greater toxicity.

The pharmaceutical compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active compound(s). The pack may, for example, comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration.

6.9 Effective Dosages

The active compound(s) or prodrug(s), or compositions thereof, will generally be used in an amount effective to achieve the intended result, for example in an amount effective to treat or prevent the particular disease being treated. The compound(s) may be administered therapeutically to achieve therapeutic benefit. By therapeutic benefit is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated and/or eradication or amelioration of one or more of the symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that the patient reports an improvement in feeling or condition, notwithstanding that the patient may still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. Therapeutic benefit also includes halting or slowing the progression of the disease, regardless of whether improvement is realized.

The amount of compound administered will depend upon a variety of factors, including, for example, the particular indication being treated, the mode of administration, the severity of the indication being treated and the age and weight of the patient, the bioavailability of the particular active compound, etc. Determination of an effective dosage is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.

Effective dosages may be estimated initially from in vitro assays. For example, an initial dosage for use in animals may be formulated to achieve a circulating blood or serum concentration of active compound that is at or above an IC₅₀ of the particular compound as measured in an in vitro assay, such as the in vitro assays described in the Examples section. Calculating dosages to achieve such circulating blood or serum concentrations taking into account the bioavailability of the particular compound is well within the capabilities of skilled artisans. For guidance, the reader is referred to Fingl & Woodbury, “General Principles,”In: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics, latest edition, supra, and the references cited therein.

Initial dosages may also be estimated from in vivo data, such as animal models. Animal models useful for testing the efficacy of compounds to treat or prevent the various diseases described above are well-known in the art. Dosage amounts will typically be in the range of from about 0.0001 or 0.001 or 0.01 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day, but may be higher or lower, depending upon, among other factors, the activity of the compound, its bioavailability, the mode of administration and various factors discussed above. Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the compound(s) which are sufficient to maintain therapeutic or prophylactic effect. For example, the compounds may be administered once per week, several times per week (e.g., every other day), once per day or multiple times per day, depending upon, among other things, the mode of administration, the specific indication being treated and the judgment of the prescribing physician. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, such as local topical administration, the effective local concentration of active compound(s) may not be related to plasma concentration. Skilled artisans will be able to optimize effective local dosages without undue experimentation.

Preferably, the compound(s) will provide therapeutic or prophylactic benefit without causing substantial toxicity. Toxicity of the compound(s) may be determined using standard pharmaceutical procedures. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic (or prophylactic) LD₅₀/ED₅₀ effect is the therapeutic index (LD₅₀ so is the dose lethal to 50% of the population and ED₅₀ is the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). Compounds(s) that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred.

7.5 Synthesis of (1S,2S)—N4-(2-Aminocarbonylcyclopent-1-yl)-5-fluoro-N2-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-methylphenyl]-2,4-pyrimidinediamine

Ethyl (1S,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylate 23d was made according to the procedure of Gellman et al., J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 5629-5632. The ethyl ester of 2-carboxy cyclopentanone 17 (4 mL), (S)-(−)-methylbenzylamine (6.96 mL) 19a and glacial acetic acid (3.08 mL) were dissolved in ethanol (32 mL) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was diluted with ethanol (64 ml) and heated to 72° C. Then NaBH₃CN (4.24 g) was added in portions and mixture was stirred at 72° C. for 5 h. Water (150 mL) was added and ethanol was removed in vacuo. The remaining aqueous solution was extracted with ether (2×150 mL) and the ether layer was passed through a silica plug, which was eluted with ether (150 mL). The filtrate was evaporated and the residual oil was dissolved in ethyl acetate (120 mL). Then 4.0 N HCl in dioxane (6.5 mL) was added dropwise with stirring. The solution was kept at 0° C. for 1 h, the white precipitate was then filtered and washed with ethyl acetate. The resulting white solid was recrystallized from ethanol (6.5 g in 40 mL ethanol). The product was further recrystallized from acetonitrile to give the HCl salt of the ethyl ester of benzylated β-aminocyclopentanecarboxylate 21d.

The HCl salt of the ethyl ester of benzylated β-amino cyclopentane carboxylate 21d (300 mg) was dissolved in methanol and 10% Pd—C was added.

7.17 Inhibition of Aurora Kinases in Functional Cellular Assays

Enantiomers E1 and E2 (Compounds 60a and 60b, respectively) were tested for their ability to inhibit Aurora kinase-B in a functional cellular assay involving phosphorylation of its substrate, histone H3. For the assays A549 cells were seeded into the wells of a microtiter tray (5000 cells/well in 100 μl F12K media) late in the afternoon on Day 1. The cells were grown overnight (37° C. 5% CO₂). On Day 2, 50 μl nocodazole (1 μM in media) was added to each well, giving a final concentration of 333 nM. Cells were grown for an additional 18 hrs under the same conditions.

On Day 3, 50 μl aliguots of varying concentrations of test compound were added to the wells. Test compounds were prepared by 2-fold serial dilution of a 2 mM stock (in DMSO). The diluted compounds in DMSO were then further diluted 1:50 with media to yield a final solution containing 4× test compound, 98% media, 2% DMSO. After incubation, the media/test compound was washed and the cells fixed with 2% para-formaldehyde (in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline “DPBS”; 25 μl per well; >20 mm incubation). The fixed cells were washed once with DPBS (200 μl/well), stained with phospho-Histone H3 (Cell Signaling Technology; 1:500 in DPBS, 10% normal goat serum “NGS”, 0.05% Triton X-100; 1-2 hrs at room temperature), and washed twice with DPBS (200 μl/well). The cells were then stained with a secondary antibody labeled with a fluorescent dye (secondary antibody donkey anti-mouse AlexFluor 488 (Invitrogen Molecular Probes; 1:2000) and DAPI (1:15,000 of 1 mg/ml stock) for 1 hr at room temperature, washed three times with DPBS (200 μl/well) and stored under DPBS (100 μl/well) at 4° C. until ready for analysis.

A. Zeiss Axiovert S100 inverted fluorescent microscope with a Plan-NEOFLUAR 10× objective, a Hamamatsu Lightningcure 200 Mercury-Xenon light source and an Omega Optical XF57 quad filter was used for all data collection. The system was equipped with a Ludl Mac2000 motorized stage with X/Y/Z control, a Ludl filter wheel, a Zymark Twister robot arm and a Quantix digital camera from Roper Scientific. All hardware was controlled with ImagePro 4.5 with the ScopePro/StagePro 4.1 module (Media Cybernetics) on a PC running Win2000. Visual Basic Scripts were written for ImagePro to automate hardware control and image collection Focusing was performed with a software auto-focus routine contained with StagePro that used the maximum local contrast to determine the best plane of focus from a Z series captured once in each well. Once proper focus was achieved images were captured in a 3×3 grid pattern of adjacent images next to, but not including, the position of focusing. Images were captured and analyzed in 12-bit format using segmentation and morphological routines contained in the Image Pro software package. Identified nuclei were counted and pixel data for each cell along with experimental conditions was stored in a database using MySQL 4.0.14. Subsequent analysis of experimental results and graph creation was done using Matlab 6.5.

For phospho-histone H3 analysis the data is converted to Facs files and analysed using FlowJo. The percent Phospho-H3 cells are plotted at each compound concentration to determine an EC50 for Aurora B inhibition.

Results. The enantiomer E1 (Compound 60a) inhibited Aurora kinase-B with an IC₅₀ of about 7 nM in this assay. By contrast, the IC₅₀ of the enantiomer E2 (Compound 60b) was 2.49 μM, approx. 350 times greater.

7.18 Compound 60a Shrinks Tumors In Vivo

The ability of the bis HCl salt of Compound 60a (enantiomer E3; Compound 234) was tested for its ability to shrink A549 and Colo205 tumors in a standard xenograft therapeutic model in SCID mice, and Colo205 and MiaPaCa tumors in a standard xenograph regression model in SCID mice. When palpable tumors appeared and were of a preselected volume (approx. 100 mm3 for treatment model; >300 mm3 for regression model), the mice were administered test compounds in the amounts and according to the dosing regimens specified in TABLE 3 (treatment protocol) and TABLE 4 (regression protocol), below.

Results. The inhibitory effects of Compound 234 on Colo205 tumor growth in the treatment model are illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The results of the daily dosing regimen are illustrated in FIG. 1; the results of the pulsed dosing regimens in FIG. 2. Both dosing regimens yielded significant (p<0.050) reductions in tumor growth rate as compared to a vehicle control for all dosage levels tested. A 549 tumors were less responsive to treatment resulting in an approximate 40% reduction in mean tumor volume following a dosing regimen of 5 days on/2 days off and a dose level of 10 mg/kg qd (p>0.05).

The inhibitory effects of Compound 234 on Colo205 tumor growth in the regression model are illustrated in FIG. 3. The effects of Compound 234 on MiaPaCa tumors in the regression model are illustrated in FIG. 4. Significant reductions in tumor growth rate were observed with both tumor lines. These reductions were independent of the mode of administration. Moreover, the reductions observed in MiaPaCa tumors were similar to those observed with taxol (see FIG. 4).
